Custom Auto Body Painting Services

Are you looking for that glass like reflection,
deep looking paint job?

That's my specialty, I've been custom painting for over
35 years and I have created process that are unmatched by
most of the industry and equaled by few, I'll explain
"How To" later in this page.

We can take your vehicle body down to metal or glass and
build the surface up using quality DuPont / Axalta urethane
products that when processed and applied properly will give
you decades of enjoyment.

We can apply standard base clear colors or custom colors such as "House Of
Kolor Candies, We can formulate one off 3 and 4 stage
custom and pearl colors, we also spray chrome with
candies over that and if you want, we can add
custom graphics and pinstriping to personalize it for you,
the options are endless.

When preparing an action plan for a custom paint job you
first need to think of longevity so starting with clean bare
metal or fiberglass is a must as most paint looses longevity
when sprayed over another paint job as the new paint job
will only last as long as the substrates.

After the vehicle is completely stripped to bare metal you
now need to prep the metal for filler and primer
application. This is done with metal prep and sanding discs,
th4e metal prep removes contamination and rust and the
sanding discs remove a small layer of metal so you start
with a new clean metal surface and you do the same on
fiberglass except you use chemical cleaners instead of metal
prep.

Now that the surface is clean you can apply your filler
over the metal to bring the surface to an even plane. Next
you can apply your etch and urethane fill primers as needed.
Now comes the painstaking process of block sanding the
complete vehicle inside jams and out, this could take up to
60 hour or more. Most of the car will need to be sanded with
a 120 grit hard block then reprimed and re-sanded with 240
then 320 using the appropriate block for the different
contours. This blocking step is what makes the paintjob if
it's not done right no matter how good you spray the paint
it's will only look as good as the block sanding allows it
to.

Time for applying the paint. First we spray an
appropriate colored sealer for uniform undercoat color and
adhesion then the base color coats usually 2-3 coats will
suffice depending on color hide and some colors may require
4-5. Next is the clear coat application we spray 3-6 coats
of clear depending on the sand and rub operation requested
by the customer. The clear coat is baked and then allowed to
dry 24 to 48 hours prior to sand and rub.

Just like the blocking process this operation also is a
big factor on the final quality of the paint job. There a
few different methods you can use but for this I'll explain
the best method

For a glass like flat surface I prefer to reblock
sand the clear coat over the complete car, this removes the
ripples that the paint application process puts back on the
car. I will hard block sand the complete car with 500 grit
sand paper and then use a step-down process of
600-800-1200-1500. The car at this point is resanded
completely 5 times. using this process I can guarantee that
the car is glass like flat.

After the clear sanding process we now go through
the triple rub processes using a cutting compound with wool
then foam after that we polish it with a foam pad and
polishing glaze. when it's all said and done you will have a
glass like paint surface that will last decades with proper
care
